John and tim’s excellent europeAN adventure

 
 

Quite a whirlwind tour.  Fortunately, the both of us have lots of energy.  Lots of walking, lots of museums, lots of climbing steps.  It was great.  Here are some pictures....with over 50 eliminated.   Most pictures were taken by me, but there were a bunch taken by Tim as well
John Monteverdi and Tim Ault
